Big Bad Wolf 5 Miler


Pretty big field for this trail race in Ipswich, but not a very fast crowd. For me to finish 10th in a field of over 400 results  means it was a slow field. Regardless, I ran a pretty consistent run through a bunch of cornfields and polo fields near Wolf Hollow in Ipswich. Actually was pretty good competition around me and pushed me the whole way.
Splits:
1-6:07
2-6:16.29 /12:22
3-6:20.36 /18:43
4-6:18.63 /25:01
5-6:39.16 /31:41
Total: 33:07  6:36 pace
My garmin had this race about .3 more than 5 which would have put my pace under 6:30, which I am really pleased about.
The kids were there to cheer me on. Afterwards we went apple picking at Russel Orchards and Rock Climbing at Agassiz rock. A great day-the beginning of fall.
